We went to a Greek restaurant “Blu Kouzina” in Dempsey. We’ve been there when it was in Bukit Timah Road (I’ve been there twice I think) but this is our first time since they moved to Dempsey. In Bukit Timah Road I think they had 2 restaurants side by side and one had nicer decor but they didn’t serve any alcohol and the other one served alcohol but it was very bare. The restaurant in Dempsey is quite large. It’s very casual but has a nice Greek feel to it. Maybe because it’s the beginning of the long weekend, but it was very busy.

I remembered that when we were in their old place (some years ago), their portion was quite generous so we ordered just 3 dishes. Hummous, Imam Bayildi and Skewered Grilled Beef. We also ordered extra pita bread because Hummous was quite salty.

フムス。ちょっとお塩が強すぎると思いますが、飲むにはこれくらい濃い味が良いのかな？

Hoummous. To me too salty but I guess they want you to drink a lot of beer or wine.

とろとろに茄子の上にキャラメライズした玉ねぎがたっぷり。ぼけて見えませんが、フェタチーズも添えてありました。とても美味しかったです。

Melting aubergine with caramelised onion on top. The photo is too blurred but it also came with a block of feta cheese. Very tasty.

I’m not a big fan of simply cooked meat, I generally prefer meat with some sort of sauce unless the meat is specially delicious. These aren’t really – not to me anyway – so I didn’t enjoy it very much but it was tender and my husband enjoyed it. A little too rare for me as well, although we asked for medium.

３品でお腹いっぱいになったのですがなんとなく口が物足らず、デザートのバクラバを１つずつオーダー。

Although we were quite full with the above 3, we felt like having something little as a dessert so we ordered 1 baklava each.

It was a nice meal. We had a bottle of sparkling water and 3 bottles of beer and the total bill was S$150. I think we ordered relatively light dishes (we avoided those that have tons of cheese on top but 3 dishes was enough. I think it’s a place where you should go as a group of 4 or 5 people to be able to enjoy more dishes – but we enjoyed it.
